Withdrawing from 8mg of xanax suddenly is DANGEROUS. This doctor sounds incompetent. Tapering down is the only safe way to do this. I don't know what your finances/insurance is like, but a friend of mine who had been on high doses of xanax for years (for panic attacks, then just kept on the drug), went to a 30-day rehab. She wasn't "addicted" really - in the sense that she wasn't abusing benzos - but she was physically dependent and in danger of seizures if she stopped suddenly.

Sorry this is happening to you. Hope you can find a responsible psychiatrist or go to a rehab to begin a taper. Good luck. Keep us posted!
